## NOTE BY DIRECT WIRE

KYIV

June 6, 1918, 1:15 p.m.

Lenin at the apparatus.

I did not understand which shells are bursting; what is the matter—explain. Regarding the password I also do not understand; if you wish, let it be from us: "from Ivan Karlovich." But a serious password must be established through a courier and by cipher, not by telegraph.

## TELEGRAM TO THE BORISOGLEBSKY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

COPY TO THE GRIBANOVSK SUGAR FACTORY

June 7, 1918

Outside of any queue. Military

According to information received, you have decided to distribute sugar from the Gribanov factory to the population, disregarding the directives of the Chief Sugar Board. Your interference in the sphere of exclusive authority of the Chief Sugar Board in matters of distribution is utterly impermissible. I annul the decision of the Executive Committee and place upon the Gribanov factory the obligation of strict compliance with the assignments of the Chief Sugar Board, regardless of any other directives whatsoever. I charge the Chairman of the Executive Committee personally with responsibility for the execution of this directive.
